How about the fingerprint reader and especially battery life during standby/lid closed? Most of the time my M1 Air is just lying around and then I use it for a specific task, and the battery can last for weeks that way.

I can't believe it's been almost six years already. I still remember how mind blown I was by that computer, and I still love my M1 Air. I hope I don't need to upgrade for another few years.

I'm reading the second Harry Potter book in Norwegian. It's decent practice since translations are a bit easier to read and I already know what's going on.

I'm also reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, though I'm on a bit of a break after the third book. I'd like to continue soon.

If I'm in the mood for neither of those, I read the Mushoku Tensei light novels.

> 53 is required because instance runs its own authoritative DNS server.

Are you planning to offer alternative solutions for this, e.g. pointing a wildcard A record at the server running the instance? I'd rather not run a publicly accessible DNS server.

I've deleted my PayPal account last year and haven't regretted it. Admittedly it helped a lot that I live in Norway now where everyone uses Vipps (which is so much better), and PayPal is not a thing at all.

Has anyone been able to steer Claude so that it doesn't use this kind of vocabulary and super verbose code comments? We use it at work and the language and verbosity has been one of the most annoying things.

> Sunrises would be 9am-10am for about three months.

At least you'd get some sun after work. Here in Norway, the only way to get sunlight during a workday in winter is to go out during lunch break. While I do acknowledge that getting sunlight in the morning is more important than in the afternoon, I feel like subjectively I'd have more use for a little bit more sunlight after work than before work.

How many of the learnings over the past two years went into the prompt that you gave the model? Is it possible that you wouldn't have been able to prompt it so well without those learnings?

Can you point us to the service that offers a 1€ VPS?

> I do think the glass effects do look great in certain areas, like pulling down Notification Center

This is one of many things that really bother me in iOS 26, after just having updated from iOS 18. It just looks wrong that it's fully transparent until you fully pulled it down, and then suddenly everything flies away. Very strange effect.

Another thing is the border effect on the icons and widgets. I wish there was a way to turn those off completely, but either you get the motion effect or you have permanent borders.

So many strange decisions.

My sweet spot is the same. I like being at the office (because I like my colleagues), but with almost an hour commute each way, going every day is very draining. I'm glad my employer is giving us pretty much total flexibility.

Finally deleted my PayPal account last summer and have not regretted it. Though I now live in Norway and everyone uses Vipps here anyway.

Work is forcing us to upgrade to Tahoe end of January, not looking forward to it.

I moved from Germany to Norway and it would be awesome if they could integrate with each other. I have yet to find a way to transfer money between my Norwegian bank account and my Revolut account without substantial fees (on top of currency conversion fees).
